    You’re making the following statements, lmk if this is inaccurate:

    -Involuntary servitude is not considered slavery, but rather a punishment.

    -Involuntary servitude is OK as long as it’s used on prisoners (those who have been convicted of crimes).

    Inference made: Constitutional protections and rights do NOT apply to those going against the rule of law.

    Questions for you:

    -If involuntary servitude isn’t considered slavery, then what would you consider slavery to be?

    -Is this a form of punishment that helps to reform and correct those deemed currently unsuitable for society (without going into the meaninglessness of Orwellian naming conventions, they are called the “Department of Corrections”, aren’t they?)

    -Do you think the rule of law always corresponds with ethical standards?

    -I always like to ask myself the following: Who stands to benefit from allowing slaver- I mean, “involuntary servitude” to continue to be allowed? Who stands to benefit from all this cheap labor?

    I’m curious as to your answers here.
